The show was excellent however the Venue was not customer friendly.at the Chicago Theatre There are not enough Bathrooms for women or the physically challenged individuals. There was one bathroom for women that was a block and a half long No exacerbation. Need to correct prior to my attending in the future.
First off...the singing was fantastic, especially the three leading men, and the woman portraying Tammi Terrell. I could sit there, close my eyes and it was like I was hearing the real Marvin & Tammi. What a talented group. The interpretive choreography from the ensemble was entertaining for the most part; but some dances just didn't seem to work well with the storyline - especially the cemetery scene. Now for the bad parts - the script was choppy, poorly written and difficult to follow. The last scene left us totally confused - was she supposed to be in heaven as well for their last dance? I was disappointed they failed to address Marvin's abusive father; in fact they didn't seem to address his father at all. And it was extremely disruptive watching several of the actors, including young Marvin Gaye continually adjusting their headsets, as their mikes kept shifting away from where they needed to be. As a result, it left a lot of the dialogue inaudible. Also, no programs or playbills were provided; you had to shell out more $$$ to buy an oversized program which gave you act/scene information as well as actor biographies...VERY disappointing. Overall for the price we paid for the tickets, the performance left us underwhelmed and wishing we had saved the $$$ and just bought a CD; but unfortunately they didn't offer that either.
The show was very good. except for the guy that played Marvin Gaye, his microphone kept moving sometime the audience can hear him and sometimes he was muffled
Great tribute to Marvin Gaye. A must see for those who came of age listening to his music and other Motown favorites. You’ll be dancing in your seat.
I enjoyed the musical. Singing was great and the actors embodied the essence of Marvin Gaye. Definitely worth checking out when it hits your town.
It was ok. The Play moved a bit fast and at times was hard to keep up with. Music was great
Wonderful stage production. It was better than watching a movie. The cast proved to be extremely talented and not just pretty faces. First time for my wife and I at the Chicago Theater but we certainly plan to return based on what we experienced. Thank you.
I enjoyed the show from beginning to end!!! Singing, songs, dancing, and storyline was incredible!!! I want to see it again!!!
Enjoyed show was excellent! Singers were great. The cast fit real life characters closely. Storyline made sense. I want more shows like this.
My first musical and I enjoyed it. I think they did a wonderful job of telling the story of Marvin Gaye's life while sharing his music with us. All of the actors and actresses sang beautifully. Not to mention the guy who played older Marvin was fine. He nailed Marvin Gaye's sexual side. I highly recommend that you check out this musical. It is definitely a must see!
Everything about the musical was great; the music, singing, dancing, costume design,. Each era of the life and times of Marvin was presented with excellence, and it left us with more appreciation of this wonderful music icon. Would love to see it again!!!
The show was excellent, the guys that played Marvin Gaye did a absolutely wonderful job playing the parts the music was on point . Love love loved the show. P.S. I give Anna Gordon a BIG thumbs 👍🏼 Up
We didn’t know what to expect other than knowing we’d hear Marvin Gaye’s amazing music. We were blown away by the performers’ voices. Wow! So much talent and passion.
The voices for most characters were excellent, especially Marvin, Tammy, and Teddy. However the singer who played Smokey Robinson was not a good match. He was more soprano than falsetto. The script needs major work. The show could trim down about 20 minutes of nonessential verbiage and the gospel songs went on way too long. It made the show drag after a while. One was enough. The choreography was great but was too bouncy. Dancing in the 60s and 70s was all about being cool and smooth. I can say I enjoyed the show but it needs some tweaking to reach its potential. Thanks for asking for feedback.
The play and concert was a BLAST!!! We really enjoyed it. We still trying to get the album Her my dear. His life was his music. His life wasn’t as glamorous as I thought, it was a lot of pain involved.
This was a great musical. I will recommend this to my friends. Just wish it was here in Chicago longer.
Couldn’t see what was going on, the seating in the Chicago Theatre are terrible
Music was fantastic. The actors did a wonderful job and the set design was epic. Not very much of a storyline. Only downside was that you had to pay for a program. The ticket prices should have included that amount but the tickets were expensive enough that it should have came with the show. I was disappointed finding that out at the theater.
Great Casting! Great Performance! Amazing Voices! One of the best musicals I've seen. I was thoroughly entertained. I absolutely loved the show!!
It was good they didnt dwell on Marvin's troubles he experienced but i felt it didnt really show the era and people as they were
